"Surgery, recovery and in-home rehab went very well. IU Saxony Hospital had very good orientation program - and provided a binder of info - that was very helpful" ...More in preparing for surgery and aftermath. Though I had some concern about having just a couple nights in the hospital as well as having rehab only at home, I decided to trust dr.

( who had been highly recommended by my pcp), and everything went just as he predicted. The key was doing the exercises that were recommended and walking a lot.

, the nurse practitioner, was exceptionally helpful and always available be phone for questions or concerns. Today it's really rare for me to have any knee pain at all. Having this surgery was one of the best "quality of life" decisions I've ever made.

Sounds like you should be pursuing a disability claim. Also, you could speak to your previous doctor frankly about your concerns. Have they made orthotics for your shoes that distribute your weight better?

Whoops - I just realized that you may have been looking for Angie's List information on providers outside your home market. To see information on providers that aren't in your home Angie's List chapter, you can elect to pay a small addditional fee (generally about $15 to $20) to add another city's Angie's List to your existing memember.

I apologize for my delay. I apologize, but orthopedic surgeons fall under our Orthopedics category which is included in the Health list. Currently, you're enrolled in our Basic membership which only includes access to our Home list.

Unfortunately, it wasn't a good experience. One of the primary reasons for the experience was that it took several months to have the surgery performed. Other reasons included long wait times on appointment days and poor communication on the part of the physician.”

Fantastic ! I was very concerned about surgery even though I was in a lot of pain. I had surgery on an ankle four years ago (another doctor and another state) and it did not go that well.
This was a totally different experience. The doctor (Dr.

) was very personable. He understood some of my extra issues right away. He gave ...More me information to read on the procedure. All X-rays are done right in the office and are readily available for the doctor. The staff was excellent. They call if he is going to be late for an appointment due to his surgery schedule. Like most busy practices, he does get backed up. I would advise an early appointment if possible. Office is easy to get to and is very near

hospital. He cooperated 100% when I specifically asked for a PT group that I knew about. He works with them all and has a good reputation with them. I also meet another member of the practice (sorry - I can not remember the name) for my discharge from the hospital. (My doctor had the weekend off.) He was also very good and answered all my questions about what to look for regarding blood clots (always an issue with all surgery patients.)
The billing was fast though there was a strange problem with the initial billing (long story - does not have to be covered here. I am assuming that someone accidently type the wrong number) the doctor's office straightened out without my having to do anything. My share of the bill was very reasonable.
I am now 200% better than what I was before surgery. :> and doing better every day.
I do not hesitate to recommend Dr.
